2.Traditional Czech Cooking Class with Market Tour

Meet Chef Ondřej Molina at Holešovice Market, choose fresh Czech ingredients, and travel to his kitchen for a hands-on 3-course class. You’ll prepare kulajda, beef goulash with dumplings, and povidlové buchty, then enjoy the meal with Czech wine or beer and take home recipes and leftovers.

“The enjoyment of the class was unfortunately negatively affected by some of the attendees (not the fault of the guide / chef) due to religious dietary restrictions they insisted be honored only to then leave the class ahead of the meal being served. That being said, would we do it again with (hopefully) classmates more aligned with Czech cuisine and more in a mood to participate with attitudes of an day to be enjoyed? Definitely!”
